​​​Why pre-order? Frankly, because it helps me. Pre-ordered books count towards first week sales numbers which gives the book the best chance of hitting best seller lists. Plus, strong pre-order numbers can inspire my publisher to print more books, which focuses both the publisher and booksellers on the book’s prospects. So, if you can pre-order, I’d really appreciate it!​Where to pre-order? Your local independent bookstore, Amazon, Waterstones, Penguin Random House.The fine print: Forward an email receipt or a photo of a paper receipt for the paperback edition only to ehauserwrites@gmail.com by June 29, 2016. Be sure to include your mailing address.​

I'm very excited to reveal the paperback cover of For the Most Beautiful, which will be published in the UK on 30th June! An insider secret is that the dress on the cover was initially red – we changed it to purple to match it to a robe that Helen weaves in the Iliad.
